RHEA-2008:0467 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
new package: virt-viewer
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
A new virt-viewer package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
Virtual Machine Viewer (virt-viewer) is a lightweight interface for
interacting with the graphical display of a virtualized guest OS. It uses
GTK-VNC and libvirt to look up the VNC server details associated with the
guest. It is intended as a replacement for the traditional vncviewer
client, since the latter does not support SSL/TLS encryption of x509
certificate authentication.
All users requiring virt-viewer should install this newly-released package,
which adds this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
